ConcertAI Announce Strategic Agreement with Bayer to Accelerate Clinical Development in Precision Oncology
The agreement will fully leverage ConcertAI's newly launched Translational360™, an integrated research-grade longitudinal clinical molecular database that taps into the CancerLinQ network of de-identified cancer patient data from over 9 million records coming from all 50 states in the U.S.
Translational360™ combines clinical, genomic, transcriptomic, and whole-slide imaging (WSI) from comprehensive molecular testing for deep phenotypical and genomic insights. Transcriptomics is increasingly a foundation of biopharma translational sciences, allowing researchers to understand disease molecular mechanisms, basis of patient response, and inter-patient variability that's essential for developing new therapeutics. Too often, clinical trial results in early phases are ambiguous with idiosyncratic positive and negative responses. The integrated data solutions and advanced AI enable selection of programs with the highest likelihood of success and design trials informed by multi-modal, multi-genomic, and transcriptomic data and AI.
'This partnership furthers causal biological inferences, where multi-modal and multi-molecular data can be integrated with AI/ML-based approaches across discovery, translation, and development, accelerating oncology pipelines, allowing our biopharma partners to deliver better medicines faster," said Jeff Elton, Ph.D., CEO of ConcertAI. 'This partnership builds on a multi-year history of working together and is unique in offering both tissue and liquid biopsy molecular data, allowing insights into patterns of treatment response, acquisition of resistance, AI modeling of likely success and benefit, informing program priority and clinical study design.'
'Data play a critical role in providing a multi-dimensional understanding of a tumor, the clinical environment, and the patient's response to therapy,' said Helmy Eltoukhy, Chairman and co-CEO of Guardant Health. 'The real-world data can provide access to unprecedented insights into a patient's cancer journey, including a tumor's complex systemic interactions, to help users navigate critical decision points as they develop novel targeted therapies.'
'As cancer rates continue to rise, we're committed to advancing next-generation solutions that can speed up drug discovery and clinical development, enabling us to bring precision oncology treatments to patients faster,' said Sai Jasti, Head of Data Science and AI for Pharma R&D at Bayer. 'By combining ConcertAI's powerful data solutions with Bayer's scientific and AI expertise, we aim to enhance the use of real-world data and cutting-edge AI to boost R&D productivity and ultimately deliver transformative precision therapies to those who need them.'
"More AI-designed new molecular entities are progressing faster in first-in-human trials, which is a great milestone,' said Claudio D'Ambrosio, Ph.D., Chief Revenue Officer of ConcertAI. 'Our entire R&D process has been historically built on studying controlled cell lines and animal models that don't reflect the interspecies differences, the physiology, and the different biological barriers we have in humans. We are flipping this paradigm on its head. We need to start with human cancer genomes and phenotypes and 'reverse translate.' Unlike only a few years ago, we now have powerful human data.'

Power and Portability Meet Toughness. New Use Energy Unveils the Revolutionary 605 SunCase™: Ultra-Portable Power at Just 16 lbs.
ANACORTES, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In direct response to requests from various Special Forces, Military Medical, Drone, and Counter Drone units, New Use Energy Solutions, Inc. (NUE), a leading innovator in ruggedized mobile solar-plus-battery generator systems, today announced the highly anticipated launch of its 605 SunCase™. At an astonishingly light 16 pounds, the 605 SunCase™ is a groundbreaking portable power solution. It's designed for unparalleled mobility and silent operation, delivering robust, reliable power in the toughest conditions. The 605 SunCase™ redefines what's possible in portable power, packing a powerful 550Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 600W pure sine wave inverter into a compact, weather-resistant, fire-retardant, thermoplastic case. Its featherlight design and grab-and-go portability make it an indispensable tool where traditional, heavy, and noisy generators are impractical or prohibited and consumer grade units just don't take the beating. "The 605 SunCase™ is a testament to our commitment to innovation and understanding the critical needs of our users," said Paul Shmotolohka, CEO of New Use Energy. "We've engineered a solution that delivers power without the weight, noise, or heat signature of conventional generators. This unit empowers professionals across diverse fields—from military personnel to cinematographers in remote location to operate with unprecedented freedom and efficiency, ultimately enhancing their capabilities and ensuring mission success." Key Features and Impact of the 605 SunCase™: Ultra-Portable at 16 lbs (7 kg): Its light weight allows for easy transport and deployment in challenging terrains, tight spaces, or rapid-response scenarios, expanding operational possibilities. Silent, Fuel-Free Operation: Unlike gas generators, the 605 SunCase™ operates silently with no emissions or heat signature, making it ideal for stealth operations in electronic warfare, quiet film sets, or indoor use. Rugged & Reliable: Encased in a tough, weather-resistant shell (conforming to IP55), it's built to withstand major shocks, drops, and extreme temperatures, drawing on NUE's proven durability in demanding environments, including war zones. Empowering the Creative: For film and TV production, the 605 SunCase™ liberates lighting and camera crews from the constraints of "bandit cable" and centralized generators for basic equipment charging such as cameras and monitors. Critical Military & Emergency Support: Building on NUE's success in powering over 40 brigades in the US and Ukraine, the 605 SunCase™ is perfectly suited for powering sensitive equipment for drone teams (signal boosters, goggles, monitors), dismounted battlefield intelligence, and critical medical devices (IV pumps, ventilators) where uninterrupted power is non-negotiable. Its rapid 20-millisecond transfer time ensures seamless operation during power fluctuations. Versatile Charging: The 605 SunCase™ features multiple output options (AC, USB-A, USB-C, 12V DC) and can be rapidly recharged via solar (built-in 400W MPPT controller), AC, or vehicle alternators. The launch of the 605 SunCase™ reinforces New Use Energy's commitment to providing cutting-edge, environmentally conscious power solutions that enhance user experience and operational outcomes. It's not just a power station; it's a force multiplier for those who demand the best in portable energy.
